About this resource
Type
Learning resource
Years
6, 8
Subject
Physics, Technology
In this activity, students use a gravity run as a tool to explore different forms of energy, including electrical energy, as well as energy transfers and transformations. They work in groups to improve the gravity run by designing a new part for the run that incorporates electrical energy (Year 6) and/or other forms of energy that are not already present in the system (Year 8).
